TMNT (NES) "You Can Just Walk Over It" 10 Year Anniversary

[@jdolaktv]

2006: You can just walk over it. 2016: You can just jump through it.

[@yourgrandpabillyjohnson1888]

2026: you can just do a lvl skip and go to the end level. Slowly we're getting a speed run of turtles

[@Untouchaable]

"Cowabunga? Cowa fucking piece of dog shit!" haha good times.

[@KSNaethos]

hell yeah

[@djaevlenselv]

Don't forget "Shredder's my ass and Splinter's my balls!" :D

[@onvogmasaj]

why cant a turtle swim?

[@djaevlenselv]

Peter Anderson Damn! Ninja'd ;)

[@jethrowomber]

+Peter Anderson I've played this game many a times since avgn did this vid and I always gotta pause for the cause to LMFAO from James rant at the end of the episode great shit

[@ReaperRose]

When Mike makes the fabled jump at 3:45, James reaction is priceless!!

[@FuzzyGunz]

H O L Y SHIT

[@AlkalineAddict]

his mind was fucking blown! hahahah

[@TheBritt2001]

Haha, I thought exactly the same! His face was like :o

[@toreshitobinable]

Can't believe I've been watching AVGN for over a decade now. My husband still quotes the Turtles and Top Gun episodes regularly.

[@prook3y]

what about now?)

[@v1p1991]

@@prook3y gotta wait another 3 years for a second anniversary.

[@teknizian]

That moment I realize I started watching AVGN when I still had hair....

[@ThunderFlarz]

6:12 James' face aftee Mike goes Ha! is hilarious.

[@Morgil27]

Anybody else get the Cowabunga Collection and notice how the in-game museum guide specifically points out the impossible jump and how you can just walk over it?

[@DaveButtons]

James, the magic of your comedy and video game reviews is in your ability to speak to our childhood ignorance and innocence. The joke holds true because anyone playing the game, unaware, would feel the frustration you exude and behave in a similar manner. The GREATEST part of your shows is in, that your a GROWN MAN behaving like such. I love. Hats off for entertaining me for over a decade.

[@DaveButtons]

And I want my email responded to!

[@eduardomancia4958]

Congrats on still playing and reviewing this game! The biggest issue I had back in the day was that when I got this game as a christmas gift, I hated it so much because it wasn’t the one my friends had (everyone had the second game at the time). After a few years, I learned to play it, finally liked it and learned how to finish it. Now, it’s one of my favorite NES games

[@RabbitPlaysGames]

@3:30 - Hey, you could do a re-re-re-re-re-re-RE-revisited, and we'd all still watch! 😂 You guys are great. Happy Anniversary~!

[@CH-uk1il]

Even the Cowabunga Collection points this out! Someone at either Konami or Digital Eclipse must have been a fan.

[@MrAzrealDragon]

"You can just walk over it!" Please I want that on a Bumper Sticker lol

[@Eiji475]

that zombie april behind the couch freaked me out!!!

[@megatrace]

I grabbed my water bottle and when I turned back I nearly jumped.

[@fanzeldadaniel]

+AnimeGURU475 it really freaked me our XD

[@Browningate]

It freaked out the Angry Videogame Nerd too!

[@WebVManReturns]

I knew they were gonna do that so it didn't freak me out.

[@edwinbridges83]

June 29th is my birthday, I have enjoyed your show for years. I wish you guys the best.

[@galacticzombie1942]

That jump was 10 years in the making. Congrats James!

[@chadmolitor6691]

This is very important work you're doing here.

[@rjmario2234]

this game does have its flaws but i thought it was pretty good overall

[@JamesNintendoNerd]

Agreed! I actually love this game aside from a few flaws. And the music is great -Mike

[@JazGalaxy]

Those Konami drums. They make this game 3x as good as it should be.

[@RocKnight11]

I wouldn't mind this game be given "remastered" treatment to.

[@GaryBeltz]

How would they do a remake in this style that would satisfy the current generation though? I agree it's time for a remake.

[@JazGalaxy]

Gary Beltz I don't think there is anything they could do to satisfy "the current generation" with a remake. Most modern games developed purely for modern gamers don't "satisfy the current generation". I mean, just look at the last few Turtles games that have been released. If they were going to make a remake, I think they would have to keep it 99% faithful and just iron out some of the kinks. But I don't think a remake would honestly work at all.

[@holdenpierce6589]

I've been watching since day one. James, thank you for doing what you've done. Your videos have brought me and my friends years of good memories and you've brought me out of some bad times. Thank you for being the AVGN.

[@ultimacj]

I like how the recent cartoon series made a shout out to it and mentioned the two minutes and 10 seconds timer from the dam, from the last season. That was just epic.

[@ToolShopGuy]

no way did they really?? i love that

[@ultimacj]

I don't have a link it was on TV when I was watching it on Nick. They were underwater avoiding electricity fields and one of the characters said "we have 2:10 to get through this" I was like wow lol

[@GaryBeltz]

They must've taken 10 seconds off the timer in that episode because it's 2:20 seconds on the underwater portion of the level.

[@ultimacj]

Could have been they prob mentioned 2:20 instead, regardless. Shout out :)

[@bucwhovian8305]

Which episode?

[@mrsly6655]

One of the most difficult games of my childhood.

[@alexboiii1211]

This game is just great in my opinion... had it on the nes in the 90s in austria, have a nice day...

[@jonathanryals9934]

That "jump" is so insidious because many preceding boards are set up very similarly but with various jumps right at the end at a similar spot. So you are basically hypnotized to think you have to jump.

[@Kammesennin]

The reason this jump works like this has to do with how the game affects your character after walking off an edge. If you look carefully, you will see your turtle actually raise a bit before he drops. This is why walking across the gaps works so well (as intended for whatever reason). The jump here is the effect of clipping through a wall at the edge and colliding with the top just enough that for one or two frames the game thinks you walked off an edge and raises you up just enough to get up there.

[@jamescolar504]

Wow! I just was watching a playthrough of this game yesterday from an uploader name Proton Jon who BTW mentioned AVGN in his video. It's good to see Mike and James playing this game again after all these years. I played this game a few months ago and I only managed to get to the dam where you had to defuse the bombs underwater and that's where I had called it quits.

[@aeonjoey3d]

the music from the NES version invades my mind almost every day, i'm not kidding.

[@gigadrill0000]

[@danloan5217]

Oh my god, I just said "holy shit" in unison because my brain exploded and I'm legitimately laughing out loud. "You can just walk over it" remains to be one of the funniest moments of having the internet.

[@alphabrother6823]

Yeah, this is funny and all, but I can't wait for the 10 year anniversary of "I can't touch that red POT?!?!"

[@wohlhabendermanager]

The only thing that botheres me about the joke is that in the Nerd episode, we can see the Nerd actually walking over a small gap before the "You can just walk over it?" joke. So, we already knew we could walk over small gaps. But on the other hand, I only noticed it on my third time watching it, or so.

[@lukejamesbgn]

The water/bomb level still gives me anxiety. Fuck that seaweed.

[@garyhomanick6129]

Happy 10th Anniversary Cinemassacre! Thanks for all the nostalgia mixed with a modern narrative to make it hilarious. Kids these days will never understand our X-Bit struggles. 👾👾👾👾🎮😜

[@stephenson99]

This game shall forever be synominous with AVGN! Keep up the great vids, guys!

[@teamrealnew3827]

The joke's not diminished. If anything, it's even funnier.

[@GamingNightsNeoMasaki]

Damn... this is 2020 and we definitely watching it... all over again.

[@mattcyr2022]

Thank you James and Mike for all the great videos, had tears in my eyes through a lot of them. Ah, the memories 😃 I'm still making my way through them lol

[@Roducius]

Ja Ja! So nice to see you guys! this makes me think in George Bernard Shaw, “We don’t stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.” 8:35 "It's a game that requires a lot of patience and i think that when you're a kid you certainly don't have much patience" also you could say "As an adult i just don't have the time for nothing in my life"

[@Jynkins]

Wow, can't believe I'm this early. XD I still love the TMNT AVGN episode and it's still one of my favorites (along with the re-revisited episode). Can't believe how long it's been. You guys are still rockin' it!

[@ArmorOfGod7]

The TMNT video is still one of my favorite AVGN videos of all time! I also remembered making that jump, but never went back to try it after the nerd video. I still think this is a pretty good game, it just has some issues. My main problem with it is the enemy re-spawning. Take that out, and this game would be far less frustrating. I've never beat the game either. When I was pretty young, I would usually either die at the dam, or make it through but be so damaged that I would die quickly in the 3rd stage. As I got older, I could usually make it to the 4th stage but would die there. One time, I somehow made it past that and ended up making it all the way to Shredder, but by the time I got there, I was down to 1 turtle with very little health, so he quickly destroyed me. I need to go back and finally beat it one day.

[@88DreadGT]

The underwater part is my favorite! Am I nuts? I like the music, sue me.

[@rosswatson3758]

James and Mike, you guys are the absolute best. Favorite KZbin channel ever. This is what KZbin should be

[@sammylane21]

This game even has a version of Metalhead too(you fight him when you rescue Splinter).

[@moriellymoproblems7842]

Mistranslation.

[@beldigoscurse13]

what I found weird is that Napoleon from the punk frogs is a bad guy also in the game

[@GarretOakamber]

10 years, and not a moment wasted. Keep being awesome James!

[@TheLonelyWanderer1]

Not gonna lie, I had this same exact problem when I was younger. I jumped up there at that part but years down the line, couldn't do it anymore. So now I just walk over it just to save me the trouble of frustrating myself to get up there. xD

[@GaryBeltz]

Even Aqualunggamereviews referenced the original in his review of the game when he gets to that part he says something like "And don't feel bad AVGN I didn't know you could just walk over that jump either"

[@soliquid3420]

This is the greatest anniversary video ever, and the most unexpected one too

[@empire0]

This game isn't even bad, but because of the AVGN video 10 years ago, most people think it is.

[@janabrahamsen5735]

its not bad.. but how many can complete it??

[@richardbean1707]

***** Never was able to beat it as a kid. I could get through the underwater bomb level, but would always wander around lost in the city afterward.

[@bplumb82]

+Richard Bean Same here lol

[@DrBeef216]

It was brutal for a 6 year-old. As an adult, just put some time into it, and it isn't that hard to complete. The hardest part is finding the technodrome, because the enemies do a lot of damage.

[@chadmolitor6691]

I made it to the technodrome ONCE haha.

[@MrBB81]

Congrats on 2,100,000+! Love the vid by the way.

“Explaining a joke is like dissecting a frog. You understand it better but the frog dies in the process.” ― E.B. White

[@karolisgrunovas9201]

On this game I noticed that if you throw boomerang and if you switch in to the other turtle while boomerang is still flying you can catch boomerangs with all turtles and share it

[@Revidescent84]

To answer the damn dam question and why it's so loathed, well, I can't speak for everyone, but I don't like 'hurry up and wait' sections. It makes no sense to make a level where it's CRUCIAL to utilize EVERY second on your timer, but make you stop and bide your time with the obstacles. I have awful anxiety and this part is panic attack inducing. Especially the end where the music gets frantic. Kinda like hearing the Sonic drowning music or Shadowgate 'torch running out' sound. My poor chihuahua nerves can't handle it lol.

[@12feettall6]

huh? xD

[@tillyedwards9850]

It is dark. You are likely eaten by a grue.

[@TriplePProject]

Your voice doesn't match your appearance. I envisioned overalls caked in mud, work boots, and a long stem of some plant hanging from your mouth. Maybe some chewing tobaccy...

[@Revidescent84]

+TriplePProject That's a good chunk of why I quit making videos. Besides editing taking way too long and KZbin being strike happy over anything and everything. I already felt really self conscious over my Texan accent ~_~ People perceive you as unintelligent and uncouth despite my 1350 on my SATs(me and math aren't on speaking terms, k?). I've never been to a tractor pull, drank a cheap beer, or even watched a Cowboys game or even shot anything, I swear. XD

[@RussellTeapot]

ahahahah the Sonic drowning music, one of the most disturbing tunes in videogames: TUN-DA-TUN-DA-tun-da-tun-da-TUN-DA-TUN-DA-tun-da-tun-daTUNDATUNDATUNDATUNDA -BLOP-

[@JeedyJay]

Not that many players got to experience it, but I really liked the way you could recover fallen turtles at specific points as a way of getting extra lives. Losing and retrieving characters is a cool mechanic and I wish more games used it.

[@whatsreallygoingon253]

i love this game but has anybody ever beat it

[@JamesNintendoNerd]

Though it has a few flaws, I love this game too! I did a live stream of it back in October and was able to defeat it. (Hint: Get the scrolls!) -Mike kzbin.info/www/bejne/rF68lJh6priIpZY

[@Armandthevampire]

I also love this game, but I never gotten passed the room where the walls with spikes closes in on you. I loose too many Turtles there and hours of setting up the Turtles with scrolls is wasted. That is mayor flaw in my opinion of the game. Still love it though.

[@Dreadjaws]

I'm pretty sure I beat it when I was a kid. That being said, I did spend several hours a day doing nothing but playing it. By the time I was finished, my reflexes couldn't work on any other games for days.

[@whatsreallygoingon253]

Cinemassacre oh wow i never got much past the water level but i had two older brothers that hoged it

[@ryanamberger]

You can look up speed runs and such. It's possible, check out Nintendo complete. He does play throughs of tons of games. Not really speed runs but he plays and beats it.

[@adultmoshifan87]

Here in the UK the "jump" you can walk over was revealed on a TV show called Gamesmaster in the Consoletation section of the show. Someone asked for help on that section of the game and was told "You should've experimented!" and revealed that walking over the "jump" was the way to do it.

[@TheYugiohCollector]

3:45 Holy Shit!

[@Shadwclash1]

That same walk-jump happened to myself and a handful of friends as kids, James. None of us could get passed it. Your old AVGN videos are not invalid. One day after many failed jump attempts I just forgot to jump and just walked over the hole. I passed the knowledge onto my friends and we actually got to continue and play the game. None of us, to my knowledge, ever made the glitch jump up. My friend David actually beat the game since I found that out for all of us. It's about the experience, not the results.

9:45 - "I don't wanna have to come back to this game again." 10:07 - "I've never beaten the game." Welp... I guess you're gonna have to come back. XD

[@yoshisbro08]

You can make the jump by clipping through. That wasn't intended so the joke "You can just walk over it" works. Happy 10 years bud Look forward to more AVGN and Cinemassacre!

If you climb the ladder you'll have to walk around a whole bunch of shit to get back to the van but if you go into the water you reappear in the same spot with the van right next to you.
